Over the past week I took a sabbatical from my blog while I vacationed. Even in the midst of relaxing, I still managed to fit in a lot of reading, writing, and thinking. As much as I don't want it to, a third novel is germinating in my brain as I work tirelessly to edit the second one. I am making great promise editing the novel, but my personal life is falling apart all around me. I have received two job rejections in just the past two days, and I can feel myself slowly coming undone. I already have no confidence in my skills, education, and abilities, each rejection just makes it all worse. Why should I feel encouraged to promote myself when no one else finds me a valuable commodity? Pardon the metaphor, but is it really necessary that I must kiss so many frogs before I turn into a prince. Things were so much calmer, peaceful, easier while I was sitting on the beach and staring at the water. Here at home, the world is still a mess.
Currently listening to "Sign of the Times" by Prince
